Cricket Prediction | West Indies vs South Africa | 3rd T20I | Aug 28, 2024 – Let’s see who will win the match.

WI vs RSA Match Analysis

South Africa will be anxious to avoid losing this game 3-0 and heading home, especially after their recent T20 World Cup triumph. This has been an intriguing series.

Though Lizaad Williams stood out in the second game after Tristan Stubbs did well in the first, the West Indies’ relatively more experienced team has been stronger with the bat and the ball throughout the series. Nevertheless, not enough players for the tourists have produced standout performances.

West Indies are very potent at home and have a great record in the recent Twenty20 International series. Based on the two previous games in the series, South Africa will need to produce a major performance to keep the hosts winning!

WI vs RSA Team Preview & Squads

West Indies

We expect Rovman Powell to reveal the same lineup for this Tuesday’s game, following the selection of the same starting lineup for their first two games of the series. Since the West Indies have defeated their rivals in their prior meetings at this location, the bowling attack and the batting lineup are confident.

Shai Hope, the opener, is playing very well and has changed how he approaches T20I cricket. On Sunday, he had the greatest strike rate of any player in the West Indies batting lineup with 41 runs at 186.36. Nicholas Pooran, ranked number three, is a very reliable T20I player; no other player has scored more runs in this format at this location.

As the series’ top wicket-taker, Shamarh Joseph will try to finish the set in this Twenty20 International by dismissing a South African opener for the third straight match.

West Indies Squads

West Indies

Rovman Powell (c), Nicholas Pooran (wk), Shai Hope, Sherfane Rutherford, Akeal Hosein, Romario Shepherd, Gudakesh Motie, Roston Chase, Matthew Forde, Alick Athanaze, Shamar Joseph

South Africa

Nandre Burger, a left-arm fast bowler, was dropped off South Africa’s squad for the second Twenty20 International following a costly performance in the series’ first game on Friday. We anticipate using the same starting lineup for this match because Lizaad Williams, Burger’s replacement, excelled with a score of 3/36 after Burger was hit four times in a row by Nicholas Pooran in the first T20I.

Although Reeza Hendricks and Aiden Markram, both of whom are seasoned players, scored fast runs on Sunday, Tristan Stubbs of South Africa has been their most impressive player at the bat and is the series’ top run scorer.

After making his international debut on Friday, Kwena Maphaka went wicketless in the second Twenty20 International, but we still think his pace will be a concern in this game. The only bowler for South Africa who has taken a wicket in both of the series’ opening games is Ottneil Baartman.

South Africa Squads

South Africa

Aiden Markram (c), Ryan Rickelton (wk), Tristan Stubbs, Donovan Ferreira, Bjorn Fortuin, Patrick Kruger, Lizaad Williams, Rassie van der Dussen, Kwena Maphaka, Reeza Hendricks, Ottneil Baartman 

WI vs RSA outfield report

Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba, Trinidad

Despite winning the second Twenty20 International on Sunday by batting first, the chasing team had not lost in Tarouba in the preceding six games. As a result, we anticipate that before this match, both captains will wish to field first.

The weather forecast indicates that there will be a lot of cloud cover and significant humidity throughout this match. This ground offers a solid batting wicket along with a pitch that has plenty to offer bowlers.
